Frogmore questions
Could you trade in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Frogmore?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Film set catering for your shoot in Frogmore
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We are often asked to cater location filming and seaside and period locations, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a location shoot near Frogmore, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Why choose film set catering in Frogmore?
It needs no kitchen on location.

Before you book anyone
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether there’s a minimum
- Payment terms and deposit
- VAT, if it applies
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Long summer days in Frogmore, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send final numbers the day before
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Flag any coeliac crew
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
